This Affiliate Program Agreement (the “Agreement”) constitutes a legally binding agreement between you (the “Affiliate” or “you”) and OmegaJam Services LLC, a Wyoming Limited Liability Corporation (“OmegaJam,” “we” or “us”).  We own and operate the OmegaJam Platform (the “Platform”), which consists of our website (the “Website”) and various mobile apps and application playable through certain social media platforms (the “Apps”). Through the Platform, OmegaJam offers approved Affiliates with the ability to earn revenue for procuring registered users who play in contests on the Platform (the “Affiliate Program”).  This Affiliate Agreement (“AA”) and all supplemental terms, as amended from time to time, govern an Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program. This Agreement explains the parties’ obligations to each other in relation to the Program..

1. ENROLLMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM. To initiate the enrollment process, you must submit an application, which can be found on the OmegaJam website. We will evaluate your application and notify you of your acceptance or rejection shortly thereafter.  We may reject your application if, at our sole discretion, we determine that you are unsuitable for the Affiliate Program.  You should also note that if we accept your application and thereafter, we determine at our sole discretion that your activities are unsuitable, we may terminate this Agreement. 
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM. Once you have been notified that you have been accepted into the Affiliate Program, you will be provided various custom links and link formats (“Affiliate Links”) that contain code that allows OmegaJam to track click-throughs by prospective OmegaJam members. When a prospective member clicks on one of these Affiliate Links, visits the OmegaJam Platform, and then subsequently registers, you will be given credit as that member’s Referring Affiliate and they will then be considered an “Affiliated Member.”  The Affiliate Program allows you to earn affiliate fees based on the activities of your Affiliate Members.
   • OmegaJam Member Registration. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject the registration of any prospective OmegaJam member who does not comply with or meet our requirements. We also reserve the right to revoke the membership of any OmegaJam member if we believe, in our sole discretion, that they have violated our Terms of Use.  We will be responsible for all aspects of new member registration and member management.  We will track contest entries made by your Affiliated Members and will make available to you reports summarizing their activity.  The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time at our sole discretion.
   • Restricted Affiliate Activities. You may not: (a) read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret, or fill in the contents of any electronic form or other materials submitted to us by any person or entity; (b) in any way modify, redirect, suppress, or substitute the operation of any button, link, or other interactive feature of the Platform; (c) make any membership request, or engage in other transactions of any kind on the Platform on behalf of any third party, or authorize, assist, or encourage any other person or entity to do so; (d) take any action that could reasonably cause any member or prospective member confusion as to its relationship with you; (e) post or serve any unauthorized advertisements or promotional content related to the Program; (f) attempt to circumvent the affiliate fee schedule or artificially increase your affiliate fees (e.g. by intentionally featuring, purchasing or requesting or encouraging any third party to use your Affiliate Links (as determined by us) for the purpose of exceeding any Affiliate fee threshold); (g) attempt to intercept or re-direct (including, without limitation, via user-installed software) traffic from or on, or divert referral fees from, any other Affiliate in the Program; or (h) seek to purchase or register any keywords, search terms or other identifiers that include the word “OmegaJam” or variations thereof for use in any search engine, portal, sponsored advertising service or other search or referral service. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have engaged in any of the foregoing activities, we may (without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us) withhold any affiliate fees otherwise payable to you under this Agreement and/or terminate this Agreement.
   • Tracking and Reporting Affiliated Member Activity. You will earn Affiliate Fees only with respect to activity on the Platform occurring directly through the actions of your Affiliated Members.
     • You acknowledge that, by participating in the Affiliate Program and using an Affiliate Link, we may receive information from or about visitors to your website or communications between your website and those visitors. Your participation in the Affiliate Program constitutes your specific and unconditional consent to and authorization for your access to, receipt, storage, use, and disclosure of any and all such information, consistent with the policies and procedures set forth in the Privacy Policy on the Platform.
     • In addition, you acknowledge that we may crawl or otherwise monitor your website for the purpose of ensuring the quality and reliability of the Affiliate Links you use (for example, to detect links that are broken or non-functional, links to products that are out of stock or otherwise unavailable, etc.). Therefore, you agree that we may take such actions and that you will not seek to block or otherwise interfere with such crawling or monitoring (and that we may use technical means to overcome any methods used on your site to block or interfere with such crawling or monitoring).
   • Lawful Use of Content. You acknowledge and agree that you will: (a) use any data, graphics, images, text, or other information obtained by you from us or the Platform in connection with this Agreement (“Content”) only in a lawful manner and only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (b) not modify or alter any Content that consists of a graphic image, other than to resize it; (c) not edit any Content that consists of text, other than to shorten its length; (d) not sell, redistribute, sublicense or transfer any Content; (e) not use any Content in a manner intended to send sales to any site other than the Platform; and (f) promptly delete any Content that is no longer displayed on the Platform or that we notify you is no longer available for your use.
3. AFFILIATE FEES. Affiliate Fees are the fees you earn when your Affiliated Members purchase entries into our contests or make donations through the Platform. The Affiliate Fees you earn will vary depending on the type of contests your Affiliated Members play.
   • DFS Contests (Daily Fantasy Sports): In DFS Contests, entrants purchase entries into contests to win cash payouts. We administer the contest and credit the accounts of the winners.  For each DFS Contest, we earn an Administration Fee that is equal to the amount we collect in entry fees less the amount of the total payouts we credit to the accounts of the winners.  You will then earn 20.0% of the Administration Fees we earn from your Affiliated Members calculated on a per entry basis.  In general, our Administration Fee will likely be approximately 10.0% of the total entry fees collected.  However, this percentage may vary substantially depending on the type and format of the contest and in some cases be zero or even negative.
   • Cash Entry with Non-Cash Prizes (CENCP): In a CENCP contest, entrants purchase entries to win non-cash prizes. For administering CENCP contests where the prizes are offered by 3^rd party prize sponsors, we earn an Administration Fee equal to 20.0% of the entry fees collected.  For these types of contests, you will earn 20.0% of the Administration Fees we earn from entries purchased by your Affiliated Members, calculated on a per entry basis. 
   • Charity Contests: In Charity Contests, entrants make a donation through the platform to our partner charity. In return, they are issued one charity ticket for each dollar donated.  They then redeem these charity tickets for entries into charity contests.  We are paid a ticket issuance fee from our partner charity of $0.20 per ticket issued.  You will then earn 10.0% of the ticket issuance fees we earn ($0.02) for every charity ticket issued to your Affiliated Members.
4. TIMING OF PAYMENT OF AFFILIATE FEES. At the end of each month, we will calculate the Affiliate Fees generated by your Affiliated Members for the month.
   • Payment. Within 30 days from the end of the month, we will send you a check via U.S. Mail or provide another form of payment for the Affiliate Fees you have earned.
   • Minimum Accrued Fees to Receive Payment. You will be paid for a given month’s Affiliate Fees if the total Affiliate Fees for the month plus any accrued Affiliate Fees from prior period is equal to or greater than $50.00. If the total is less than $50.00, then the balance will accrue to the following month.
   • ID Verification. If you are eligible to receive earnings from the Affiliate Program, we may require that you provide us with proof of identity before we provide payment. If you do not provide us with such proof to our reasonable satisfaction, then you will not receive payment of the earnings. If you receive payment of earnings in error, we may reverse or require return of the earnings. You agree to cooperate with us in our effort to do this. We may also reduce payment to you without notice to adjust for any previous overpayment.
5. TERM, TERMINATION & SURVIVABILITY. The term of this Agreement shall be for one (1) year commencing on the Effective Date.  Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew in one-month increments.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement without cause by giving the other Party advance written notice.
   • The Effect of Termination: Should this Agreement be terminated by either party, we will no longer be obligated to pay you any Affiliate Fees that may have accrued after the date of termination.  Furthermore, your Affiliated Members will officially become “unaffiliated” and no longer be affiliated with you.  As such, you will no longer be entitled to earn Affiliate Fees from their activities or track their activities on the Platform.
6. MODIFICATION OF TERMS. We are entitled to make amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time and without advanced notice. If we make such amendments, we will notify you at least 30-days in advance in writing by sending notice to your physical address or to the email address of record for your account. Your continued participation in the Affiliate Program after any such amendment to the terms and conditions will be deemed as your acceptance and agreement to be bound by such amendments, updates and/or modifications.
